Yamaha Aerox R (2020)
2020 Yamaha Aerox R
CarHunch analysed 135 real MOT records for the 2020 Yamaha Aerox R. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Yamaha Aerox R has a first-time MOT pass rate of 70.8%, which sits 9.2 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these machines are prone to test failures. While dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 11.1%, the below-average pass rate is the key concern for a prospective buyer.
At 6,040 median miles, these scooters are lightly used for their age, which makes the pass rate lag even more worth investigating. The average vehicle racks up 0.32 failures and 0.8 advisories per test, pointing to minor wear items and maintenance oversights rather than catastrophic problems—so budget for routine attention before your MOT to improve your chances of a clean pass.
What to check before buying a 2020 Yamaha Aerox R
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
